[After great stormes the cawme retornis]
After great stormes the cawme retornis
And pleasanter it is thereby;
Fortune likewise that often tornis
Hath made me now the moost happy.
And pleasanter it is thereby;
Fortune likewise that often tornis
Hath made me now the moost happy.

Thevin that pited my distres,
My iust desire and my cry,
Hath made my languor to cesse
And me also the most happy.
My iust desire and my cry,
Hath made my languor to cesse
And me also the most happy.
Whereto dispaired ye, my frendes?
My trust always in hevin did ly
That knoweth what my thought intends
Whereby I lyve the most happy.
My trust always in hevin did ly
That knoweth what my thought intends
Whereby I lyve the most happy.
Lo! what can take hope from that hert
That is assured stedfastly?
Hope therefore ye that lyve in smert,
Whereby I ame the most happy.
That is assured stedfastly?
Hope therefore ye that lyve in smert,
Whereby I ame the most happy.
And I that have felt of your paine
Shall pray to god continuelly
To make your hope, your helth retayne,
And make me also the most happy.
Shall pray to god continuelly
To make your hope, your helth retayne,
And make me also the most happy.
